Moran - Dare to Love

Part 72 The new Beginning

Hey guys thank you for your votes and comments.

Continuing from the last part,

This was the first time Monami managed to sleep for so many hours in weeks.    

She was not imprisoned by Aditya anymore. There’s no blinding white light. No drugs and hallucination. No footsteps or Aditya’s voice appearing suddenly. 

However, her mind was still too unsettled for a good sleep. In her dream, she was walking alone, searching. She didn’t know what she was looking for, but there was a strong desire in her mind. When she finally opened her eyes, she understood why she was so anxious - even in her sleep. She immediately called for a nurse to accompany her to Bala’s room.  

She looked at the clock on the wall.  It’s 10:00am. She quickly washed up.  She stood in front of the mirror and splashes some water over her face.  Then she looked up and stared at herself in the mirror. She was still weak and pale. And her heart was filled with concern for the man she loves dearly.

Soon, she heard someone opening her room door from behind her. She was drying her face with a towel. She quickly said: “I won’t be long. Please accompany me to Bala’s hospital room.”

Monami heard a ‘pang’ sound. The person has closed two door. Then she heard footsteps coming towards her.  

Her body stiffened. Before she could turn around, there’s a pair of arms around her waist. He held her from behind, and pulled her into his embrace.

Monami gasped. She quickly turned around and put her hands around his neck.

A familiar scent surrounded her. He still has his big black coat on. It has a faint smell of gunpowder. His short thick black hair… The handsome but cool look on his face… She looked at him. He was also staring at her. 

All the stress and pain that’s built up over the past weeks started to melt away. She was ecstatic to see him.  

“Karan… Karan…” She subconsciously repeated his name. This was real. It was not a dream. She reassured herself by saying his name, again and again. He was back, and she was safe. They were finally together again.  

Karan lowered his head and kissed her. She belongs to him. He can hear her every breath, and her every sob.  He held her in his arm. The room was quiet and still, except for the digital display on the medical monitoring equipment that was beside the bed. 

He was holding her so close it’s like their bodies were welded together.  

She can feel his cold and gentle breaths. She closed her eyes as they kissed. But Karan kept his eyes open. He refused to miss any opportunity that he can look at her face. Then he noticed the red marks on her neck, and the bruises on her arms which were under her sleeves. He lets go of her. Monami was lost in his tender kisses. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. He moved his hand and carried her to the bed.  

“I have slept for a long time.” She said softly.

“Tumhe aur rest ki jarurat hain.” He said and sat down on the bed beside her. He gently glided his fingers over the bruises and marks, then his hand returned to touch her face.  

“Ah..” Monami lifted her hand to hold his.

Karan was reluctant to let go of her too. He took his coat off and lied down on the bed with her. He carefully pulled her into his arms and kissed her again. 

Monami didn't ask him about Aditya.  She didn't ask how Karan escaped. And he doesn’t want to tell her. But her heart still aches as she thought of what he might have gone through, and tears streamed down her cheeks. He quietly kissed away her tears. He heard some footsteps coming toward their room. He quickly got out of bed to lock the door, then he returned to Monami.
